Ah, okay, I knew most of it was fine. Just a part of it that wasn't. I'm not sure why they'd get in trouble for recording. Record whatever you want in the air as long as it isn't in those analog cell bands.

They could do this with their Google Maps mobiles, but also with Android phones. Stuff that all into a database, and suddenly you can know approximately where you are based solely on the MAC addresses of any nearby WiFi hotspots. They got in trouble because they also "inadvertently" recorded data traffic too. bp <part15sbs{at}gmail{dot}com> On 9/22/2015 7:37 PM, Mike Hammett wrote: I think all they got in trouble for was checking connectivity on open APs. ----- Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions http://www.ics-il.com ----- Original Message ----- From: "That One Guy /sarcasm" <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Tuesday, September 22, 2015 12:47:23 PM Subject: Re: [AFMUG] ot windows 10 maps knows where i am I knew about google and apple doing that, but I thought they got in trouble.
